Robbing people with false bills

I would not trust Scottish power if they paid me a million pounds they are robbing people blind as they produce a bill when you can legally move providers after the contract time is up.. so I did next thing I get is a bill for my 2accounts which are prepayment and no debt on them for 437.62 credit so I ask for it back the next thing I hear is that I'm 786.86p in debt so I go on my online account they only set up a different gas account and are trying defraud me.

I seriously doubt this has happened on purpose, have you only just checked? you must have been operating like this for months to run up a bill of £700. Just ask for your previous credit to be applied to the new account, and pay the difference and you will be back to all square.

It's totally shocking I was on a pre payment card and key so I'm paying for my electric and gas in advance I was paying over 40quid a week on gas and the same on electric... they are robbing people blind I would get on to ofgem send them all the evidence you have of overpayment and that you haven't ran up debt.. the more people the better hope you get it sorted

Scottish Power should be regulated more by the powers that be They are causing disabled vunerable customers excessive long standing unecessary stress. They fail to address complaints effectively, they are nortorious for hiking up disabled cusotmers disiproportunate prices, In addition to this they fail to allow disabled customers access to the warm home front discount, applicatons for the W.H.D no applications are not on line, neither is there a telephone number for one to apply by phone, other fuel companies disclose the Warm Home discount on their websites & do not try to hide the discount as Scottish power constantly do. I have experienced nothing but distress & anxiety since being a customer which impacts greatly on my lung c ondition other health conditons & my mobility. I would not reccomend Scottish power their customer service is inconsistant during complaint closure procedures, nothing is actioned that has been agreed & not resoluted. Appauling service

Can’t understand how I can be told I’m 600 in debt when I have a smart meter and only two months previous my direct debit reduced from 82 to 45. I live alone, work full time so I would say impossible to have accumulated this bill in two months! Have raised a complaint 24 th July and yet to be contacted other than taking an unauthorised 155 payment on the 1st August. I have reported to energy Ombudsman and they have agreed their involvement in resolving this.
